The end of unsupervised Internet use…Part 2
Self-DefenseFBI Director Robert Mueller called for strict data retention guidelines for US ISPs (Internet Service Providers) when speaking at a conference of international police chiefs. As covered here, he echoed DHS head Michael Cherthoff’s assertion that the Internet was enabling terrorists to telecommute to work, Mueller went further and said that the US needs stricter data retention guidelines. ‘”All too often, we find that before we can catch these offenders, ISPs have unwittingly deleted the very records that would help us identify these offenders and protect future victims,” Mueller said. The solution? Forcing ISPs to retain data for set periods of time. If that happens, how long before the MPAA and RIAA start asking to take a peek at the data too, as they have in Europe? The compilation of this data is a major danger to privacy and a target for abuse. This can only happen if we the people allow it. One last interesting observation, why is there an international conference for police chiefs? Aren’t the laws and rules of operation different different in each country? What efforts would they need to meet to coordinate for? Why would the FBI speak there on a topic that is US centric, if not to garner support from non-US attendees that already have these rules in place…
As I said yesterday in my mind this is a matter of self-defense for once your privacy and liberties are taken away so to is your freedom.
